7am

Austin and his mother make their way through the airport security, the fact that Anthony wasn't alive anymore was starting to sink in. Claire offers her son a sad smile as they locked eyes for a moment.

After what his mother told him, Austin realized that he was being selfish. Instead of considering how his mother felt about what happened he just put himself first. He vows to never make that mistake again.

"Austin!"

They both look back and Austin sees John making his way through the line. He frowns.

"What the hell is he doing here?"

John takes a deep breath once he stopped in front of Austin.

"Let me come with you"

Austin was confused.

"What? You're not even-"

"Of course you can" Claire chimes in and she receives a blank stare from Austin.

"Mom what are you doing?" Austin hissed. Claire smiled.

"I'll be busy with the preparations so you'll need a distraction and this man here is what you'll just need"

John grinned when he heard that.

"Great! Let's hop in my jet and we'll arrive in a few hours" he says and Austin gives him a sadistic smirk.

"No. You're flying with us, business class"

It was awkward. Dave could feel his parent's eyes on him. He clears his throat awkwardly before he spoke up.

"So uhm....how was your vacation?"

Mark, a man in his late 50's, his once glowing porcelain skin now getting soft and wrinkled shares a look with his wife, Vanessa. She had her braids tied up in a low ponytail, she was in her late forties but she looked 35, a little bit of botox helps.

"It was lovely. But we should be asking you about what I saw last night" Vanessa says as she recalled what happened.

The intercom in their room was beeping as the motion sensors went off, they had thought they were being robbed only to find her son in a very questionable position.

Dave blushes and takes a sip of his tea.

"Mom, Dad. This is Jack. My fiancé and Jack this-"

Dave frowned when he saw Jack's state. The man was practically shaking. He looks at the fork in Jack's hand and it was as if the man was in the middle of an earthquake.

"Jack? Hey" he says, voice soft as he held Jack's hand. The man blinks and looks at Dave.

"Yeah?"

"I was introducing you to my parents. This is my Mother, Vanessa and my Father, Mark."

"Nice to meet you"

They offer a smile and Dave looks back at Jack, feeling concerned.

"Excuse us for a moment" he says before taking Jack to his room.

As they watched them leave, Mark raises his palm to his wife, smirking smugly.

"What?" Vanessa asks.

"Don't pretend you don't know. You owe me a million pounds. I was right about Dave being gay"

Vanessa snarled at him.

"That bet was when he was 13, it's not valid now"

"Of course it is!  Give me my money"

Vanessa sighed.

"Fine, I'll transfer it but I'll need to go shopping later"

Mark sighed in defeat.

"Then you'll probably need that money, keep it"

Dave closes the door and watches Jack sit on the bed.

"Are you alright?" He asks and Jack shook his head.

"What if they don't like me?"

Dave couldn't find anything to say. He sits next to Jack and holds the man's hand.

"We are adults. We can do whatever we want. If my parents do not like you then that's okay because I get to spend the night with you, I get to love you, I know how I feel about you. The world may hurt you but I'll still be here to make you feel loved and cared for."

Jack looked up at him.

"You mean it?"

Dave smiles and makes Jack lay his head on his shoulder.

"Of course! We can ran away and start our own family in a new place, where we will be accepted for who we are"

Jack closed his eyes and sighed.

"No"

"Hm?"

"We won't run away. We will stay here and prove to them that our love is real and they'll have to deal with it"

Dave smiles, feeling proud of Jack. The man was finally standing up for what he believed in.

"That's the spirit"

Jack sat back up and nodded.

"But seeing your father....kind of triggered me. All I could think about was if he was going to hurt you like how my dad did to me"

"I can assure you that my father is the most coolest dad you'll ever meet. Trust me on that"

"What about your mother?"

"That one is a bit hard headed but once Dad is cool with something, she follows suit"

Jack felt at ease. He chuckles, shaking his head.

"I was dramatic huh?"

"Not really. Now let's go back before they think we're doing something nasty"

Meanwhile up in the sky, John was feeling claustrophobic. Too many people were in here! How do people do this?!

Sensing the man's discomfort, Austin peaks to John's side

"You good?"

"Not really. I can't breathe"

Austin noticed that John was looking around. He sighs and stands up.

"Follow me"

John follows behind and to his nightmare, they enter the bathroom, both men squeezing inside the tight space.

"Is this better or worse?" He asks

"Worse" John says

"Good. We'll spend some time here for a few minutes then we'll go back"

John nodded and took a good look at Austin's face.

"You know....you're really cute"

"Am I?" Austin asks, sarcasm evident in his tone.

"You are"

Suddenly they hear the pilot telling everyone to buckle up as they were preparing to descend and land.

Both men moved at the same time and their chests bumped into each other.

"What are you doing? I'm going out first" Austin says and John chuckles before playfully bumping Austin with his chest.

"Aren't you a bottom? You're supposed to follow me"

Austin scoffed.

"I'm not one of those wimpy submissives. I can fuck you if I wanted to"

The response took John by surprise.

"You think so? I'd like to see you try"

Austin eyes John up and down.

"Why don't you bend over and let's see"
